OK, that almost describes how lace is made!
As the list is fairly quiet at present I'll ask the question "What is
Lace?"
It's something I discussed with my class a few months back so I've
already got lots of suggestions and criticisms of several printed
definitions.

How about this for a quaint definition of lace-making:
"Of particularly beauty is the bobbin lace. From a sketch on a
cardboard placed on a bench with a cushion and on which pins are
placed (which hold the knots which make the lace), the lace-makers
manage skilfully the bobbins - little cylinders to hold the string".
